Sadie's POV

We walk in a line Zia, Carter, me, Walt, Jaz, and Anubis. There were guards surrounding us. Anput walked in the front. I was angry and heartbroken. I fell in love with Andrew/Anubis and we were happy. He lied to me about everything. I thought about everything Anput had said. Andrew was not Andrew. He was Anubis. The jackal tattoo on Anubis's arm, the fact Andrew showed up around the time Anubis also lost his powers, the fact that Andrew didn't know how to survive in the world. There were so many signs. I remember the description that the magicians that were rescued by him. Tall, black hair, dark eyes. They knew that Andrew was Anubis. That's why he went to talk to them. Then I remember what Thoth said. He tried to call him Anubis before Anubis corrected it to Andrew. Why didn't I see the signs?

One of the guards grabs me and brings me up to Anput. I walk beside her. "I don't know what he sees in you." She says to me. "You're not as pretty as me."

"If I had known he was Anubis," I say. "I wouldn't have loved him."

"Oh please," Anput says. "I'm sure that's what you think now because you're mad at him. You want to be with him. You can't. He's mine. I have children with him. You don't."

"I don't want anything to do with him," I say. "He's all yours. I won't stand in your way."

"Unfortunately," Anput says. "As long as your alive he's going to keep fighting."

"So, what are you going to do?" I ask. "Kill me."

"No," Anput says. "That would be too easy. I'm going to find a way to make Anubis suffer."

"No offense," I say. "I see why Anubis wants nothing to do with you."

Anput was mad at the comment. Anput grabs my hair and pulls me to a wall. She slams me against it. I screamed in pain of my back hitting the wall hard. I fell to the ground leaning against it. "Don't touch her!" Carter yells.

Anput ignores him. She pulls me up by my shoulder. "Listen here Kane," She says. "I will not take your sassy or sarcastic comments like Anubis does. I could kill you with the snap of my fingers."

"You could," I say. "You won't though, because of Anubis. Anubis will never forgive you if you kill me."

Anput looked over at Anubis. Anubis looked mad at Anput and worried for me. I was still mad at him. Part of me wanted to hug him and kiss him. Another part of me hated him and never wanted to see him again. "Put her back in line!" Anput yells.

The guards put me back in line. We walk in silence until we get to what used to be a police department. The guards lock us all in the jail cell and they untie our hands. Walt sat down with Jaz and Zia. Carter walked over to me. "Are you alright Sadie?"

"Yes," I say. "I'm fine."

"Sadie," Anubis says. "Can I talk to you?"

"That's not a good idea," Carter says to him. "You've done enough."

"Sadie," Anubis says. "I'm sorry, I wanted to tell you. I was going to tell you. Every time I wanted to tell you something else happened and I couldn't do it again."

"You lied to me!" I yell. "I don't know how to trust you. It was all a lie to you."

"My name and my past were a lie," Anubis says. "When I lost my powers, I had nothing. You saved my life. I didn't tell you who I was because I wanted to start a new life. I wasn't Anubis anymore. I was Andrew. We were going to go on the mission and not find Anubis. Once everyone assumes Anubis is dead, I could live my life without powers and be with you, Sadie. I love you. My feelings for you were not a lie."

"I don't love you Anubis," I say. "Not anymore."

"I'm sorry," Anubis says. "I'll never forgive myself for not telling you. I broke your trust. As soon as we get out of here, you'll never have to see me again."

I look at his eyes for the first time since I found out who he is. I could tell he was sorry. I turn away and sit down next to Zia and cross my arms. She puts a hand on my shoulder. Carter glares at Anubis and then sits down beside Jaz. Anubis sits on the bench across from us. He stared at the ground. I looked outside of the jail cell. A few minutes later Anput shows up. Now, she wore a tight black dress that had a very low-cut V-neck. "Wow," I say. "You're very confident person with all these outfits you wear."

"I'm a goddess," Anput says. "I have a better shape and body than most mortals. Better than you Sadie."

"Anput stop," Anubis says.

"Stop what, Jackal boy." Anput says.

"Don't call me that," Anubis says. Anubis didn't have a problem when I called him that but apparently with Anput, he did.

"Is there a particular reason you brought us here?" I ask. "Or did you just bring us here to insult me and make Anubis mad?"

"I told Set that I've captured the Kanes and he's coming to visit," Anput says. "My job is to keep you guys here until he gets here. I also told him that you helped me, Anubis. Maybe you'll get your powers back."

"If I get my powers back," Anubis says. "I'll kill you."

"You know you won't," Anput smiles at him. "You love me."

"No," Anubis says. "I don't. I love Sadie, and thanks to you, she hates me."

"The truth always comes out Anubis," Anput says. "You of anyone should know." She pauses. "Guards, bring Sadie with us. It's time we have a little chat."

"Pass," I say to Anput.

The guards come in and take me anyway. Carter, Walt, and Anubis wanted to protest but they knew it was useless. I look at Carter and let him know I'll be fine. I look Anubis in the eye one last time before they are all out of my view. The guards lead me to what was an interrogation room where Anput had gone. I sit in the chair with a pair of handcuffs on the table attached to one of my hands.

"Is this necessary?" I say. "I don't have any weapons."

"Yes," Anput says. Anput sits in a chair across from me. "I want to talk to you about something."

"Is it about Anubis," I say. "Look, he's a god, I'm a magician. It would not work even if I didn't hate him."

"I just want to make it clear why he loves you," Anput says. "He had just lost his powers when he first met you. You saved his life. That is the only reason he loves you. If you hadn't saved him, he'd probably think you were some useless mortal." I looked down. I knew that couldn't be true. I saved his life, sure, but that's not the only reason he loves me. Why did I care? Anput laughs. "It's funny," Anput says. "He's the first person you've loved outside of your family. He probably doesn't even love you."

"He doesn't love you either," I say. "You're psychotic and insane. You're also kind of a bitch. Literally and personality wise."

"Listen here Kane," Anput says. "Once Set see's that I have captured you and your brother, I will be a queen. You better start treating me like one or my first order is going to be your execution."

"Execution?" I say. "We're not in the ancient times. Though, you're probably old enough to remember that. It's starting to show too. I think I noticed some grey in your brown hair." I knew my comments were making her mad. That was my plan. Why am I making a death goddess mad? Maybe because I'm not going to be a mortal that gets told what to do.

Anput picked up a knife that was on the table. She tossed it in her hands. "I know multiple ways to kill you with just this knife alone." She points it right at my neck. "I could just put pressure here and then watch you bleed out." She pulls it away. "Unfortunately, Set wants you alive."

She puts the knife back down. I put my hand up to my neck. She pushed it in enough to get a small cut. I pulled my hand away and had some blood on it. "I got the point. You have to listen to Set because he can give you power and a title and you'll actually be known for once. I knew nothing about you when I first heard your name. Had to search through some books to figure out who you were. It is a shame though, by the time Set is finished, there will be no one to know who you are. Guess that doesn't work out as much as you thought."

"Guards!" Anput yells. "Take this girl back to the cell. I've had enough of her."

I smiled. She was finally annoyed. The guards grab me and take me back to the cell.
